The Kirby RPG I Never Released

What if Kirby had an RPG similar to Paper Mario or Mario and Luigi? What would that look like? Well a long time ago I started making one and it was very robust. I put about 6 years into the project and no one ever saw it. But today that changes, so I hope you enjoy the Kirby RPG I never released!

I know there's a lot you've forgotten, but to see it fully completed, out there in the world for people to play, that would be incredible. Even if you can't get the Paper Mario-esque battle system you were working on to actually work, even having the traditional turn-based battling system with random encounters and leveling would be so cool and appropriate for this game! I do really hope you can finish it one day soon, because it really does look fun and exciting!

[@joshernsteen2066]

The game that NIS America just released, in America, for the Nintendo Switch plays out very similar so far based on what you describing. The company releases them first in Japan for something related the way that the country functions. The company talked about it in detail in an interview that I found only once, and I wanted to play it ever since. The game is called The Cruel King and the Great Hero, and they were probably not fully sure on how they were wanting the make game fully either at first either. The game plays as true to their vision and explanation as they explained in the interview, so sorry in advance if you do not like exactly how it plays. They also placed a timer inside of the game to make the person playing the game aware of exactly how long they have been playing for. The reason will make sense pretty much immediately the moment that you start playing it. They made sure that the game explains itself through out the game to avoid any further questions about the game.

[@joshernsteen2066]

They did not say which engine that they used to male the game, but it was more advanced than RPG maker since it does use a function that is definitely different than what and how people playing the game would likely function as well.

God I live for this kind of stuff. I remember as early as elementary school that I'd draw out my own RPGs and game ideas on notebook paper, trashing a good chunk of it during college depression, then come my mid-20's found the means to use programs like RPG Maker and Godot to make those sketches into tangible games. Flash forward to now and I've finished two RPGs (flawed as they are) with more projects along the way (do the Mario Maker levels count too?) and it is such an invigorating feeling. I love coming across old sketches and notes and thinking 'ok, how do I remake this into something tangible?' and my goal in life is to finish as many as possible before it's curtains for me. Thanks for reminding me how special and nostalgic those childhood ideas are. It oddly enough gave me courage to keep trucking along!

[@furuyawn]

this video makes me so genuinely happy. it's always so much fun revisiting old passion projects from years or even decades ago. i recently discovered a manga that i started drawing when i was 11 and it made me tear up because i remember being so passionate about my art and even though i rarely draw anymore because life gets in the way, it really inspired me to start drawing again. i'm so glad that you still have proof of all the effort you put into your passions and i'm happy that you still get the chance to do what you love all these years later.

This is honestly a bit of an inspiring story, considering that I'm working on my own silly RPG Maker project as of recent, among the various other projects I have going on. While mine is probably not even a year old yet, the style is somewhat similar to what you have going on here: vibrant colors, black outlined characters, Paper Mario style battle system, stuff like that. I really wish I could play this little project of yours, but this little deep dive is just as good. Love your work, man, keep it up.

This video reminds me of the game I was making as a child on Game Maker 001. I spent so much time working on that game and making sprites. Sadly, the Windows XP computer I was making it on eventually crashed on boot up one day (probably because of all the Malware it had from weird websites I downloaded emulators and rom modifiers on) and couldn't be revived. All I have left of the quarter finished game is an executable of the most recent version of the game. I'm pretty sure I lost all the project files to corruption in the crash but this video has inspired to check the PC's backup files again.

[@WindmageZyphos]

It’s really cool to finally see the Kirby RPG you mentioned way back in the Aquapolis Pixel Portal video. You only mentioned it briefly, so I never would’ve guessed that this was such a huge project. I’ve been writing a lot of stories since I was a kid. A couple of years ago, I stumbled across a story that took up a majority of my middle school and high school life and only just recently shared it with my wife. Sharing such a personal thing is very intimidating, but I’m very glad you opened up about this project.

Thank you so much for sharing, Swanky. You seem to have learned so much about yourself and many new skills from the experience, and what you built is impressive! That you were able to figure out a start a custom combat system and maps on your own is time I did not invest in a project at that age, and a lot of times still today. Your willingness to share helps us further collaborate with others and work on ourselves, too,. I really appreciate that.

[@CreativeSteve69]

This was great to share Swanky. I'm also got motivated from last year to hop on the indie gamedev train. I always wanted to create games based closely off of my favorite adventre/puzzle franchises.

This video was amazing. I recently finished an RPG Maker 2003 game that I released on Steam, but I wouldn't have ever gotten to this point without hundreds of projects similar to this. I really enjoyed your trip down memory lane and I remember the early internet Nintendo communities fondly... for me, the Kirby fandom you talk about was synonymous with the RPG Maker and Earthbound communities I grew up in too.

[@Woxominal2222]

You have no idea how cool this video is to me. Me and my friend loved RPG Maker as a kid, though she was the one who was making the games. I loved working on them and playing the test builds with her and coming up with all sorts of different wild ideas. I have a deep nostalgia for the software and games made in them. We never finished any big ones, but a few smaller projects actually did get completed. That comment about the characters being based off your friends hit home for me because one of the first "major" projects we both got invested in took place in a small forum me and my friends frequented(really, it was ONLY me and my friends, haha, it was a small place) where we were the bosses. We're actually doing a nostalgic "revival" project in the same universe and it's brought some of those friends back into my life. It's great. I wish we could go back to that time...making things is so much harder now. I still like 'fan things' like fanfic and fangames and want to make some. But when you're an adult, you're so much more self-conscious. And you don't have as much time, life is hard. Maybe the insecurity is just me. But when you're 6 you make tons of crappy MS Paint drawings and dumb plots and you don't care, it's fun...but as an adult I feel like I have expectations to make use of my time. I have to make something good or whatever, something original, it's not as impressive to show your friends little dumb drawings anymore. I don't have most of them saved...I had a phase in my late teens where I began to hate on anything I made as a child, and I seriously regret that because now I have little to look back on. Old forums I roleplayed on were shut down, old fanfics were thrown in the garbage, plans for old games are gone...it's bittersweet. Sorry for the ramble, this video just took me down memory lane. It makes me realize sometimes the dumb things you did when you were younger weren't exclusive to you.

[@Namadu7]

Oooh. This is quite a comfy, bittersweet video - partly just from how much of your past this clearly brought back, but also how much it reminds me of the kinds of creative endeavors I tried out in my early teens. The pixel art, the inclusion of friends' OC's, and especially not knowing how to manage project scope... all good times. Loving those MIDI-fied Block Ball tracks you used, too! I appreciate that you used those for this video, to *really* bring us back to those days. The Dark Cloud 2 / Dark Chronicle MIDI was also a nice treat. :3

[@lippypop6619]

Even though I never seen this project in my life it makes me feel something, it makes me a bit sad and nostalgic in a weird way. It makes me think back of a time I would make animations as a kid that I would never be able to finish them. It made me realized how many projects will never see the light of day. It’s sad in a way. You making something out of nothing just for it to be left behind. I don’t think we realized how much things are left behind from artists, musicians, animators, programmers etc.

The Kirby sprites are adorable Quick edit: I will say that as a person who sprites the pillow shading (having shading just follow the outline rather than a light source) is a bit of a nitpick but you're not doing this professionally or anything and it's meant for fun. Besides the shocked animations are beautiful. It's a general tidbit if for some reason you need to sprite or anyone wants to sprite but seriously I love this anyways 10/10 It's got the vibe of me reading my.old Kirby fanfiction and I mean that positively

Wait, you tried your hand at making a Kirby RPG at such a young age? And there I was simply learning stuff in school! Man, do I envy you or what? Anyways, this is some intriguing stuff. Indeed, this truly felt like a time capsule of the Kirby fanbase in the late 1990s to early 2000s, and I say this as someone who became a Kirby fan a little later than that! I wonder how the rest of the story would've been like had you opted to keep on going; maybe there'd be a couple extra twists here and there, and perhaps Kirby himself may have ended up having a larger role in the story despite not being the main character? Who knows! I'd absolutely love for HAL to give the Kirby series a proper RPG someday, but until then, I suppose this (and maybe Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash) is the next best thing! Y'know, despite being unfinished and unofficial... Also, I'd be down for someone like you doing a whole retrospective on Kirby's Rainbow Resort and your experiences there; the site's quite a historical place that is emblematic of the Kirby fanbase throughout the 2000s, and I feel it's about time someone gave it some much needed love.

id love to see a video talking about the Kirby community, my brother was part of it it looked so fun

[@redshell9205]

This has inspired me to make a rpg myself. I hope it gets farther than yours though.

[@kiartoons2010]

How’s it going?

[@redshell9205]

@@kiartoons2010 I haven’t start yet. I was sitting on the rpg maker steam download page and I was thinking if someone saw this they would think It’s an anime game. So I didn’t get it, because I didn’t want my parents to be weirded out.

[@cosmicspacething3474]

I’d definitely like to see how the old community was, and the things they made. I want to be inspired myself.

[@SnortStuff]

Bro this is sick! You should finish it. It has so much soul and it feels way more Kirby than the modern Kirby games.

[@goldshell9992]

A Kirby rpg game need to happen

[@dialga5]

You should finish this. it looks cool and fun. Could also serve as a send off for the online friends you had. Or they find you again

[@Nightman5694]

I REALLY hope this eventually comes back one day. Maybe a FULL BLOWN REMAKE! Or, just trying to polish it up and release it so others can actually experience this beautiful masterpiece.

[@doodlebug47]

I actually really like this. It could obviously use polishing, but it's cool that it was made by just one guy, and that there's a lot of love put into it.
